Evolution: I receive messages from ...

I receive messages from E-Bay concerning hits to saved searches. Recently, Evolution is apparently not transferring the link address correctly to Firefox. If I click the link in the e-mail, I am taken to an error page at E-Bay. If I right click the link and copy, then paste it into Firefox, it works correctly. Example link: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/e11021.m45.l1123/7?euid=7630073400351686682&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D150472705883%26ssPageName%3DADME%3AB%3ASS%3AUS%3A1123 Distribution: openSUSE 11.2 (x86_64) Gnome Release: 2.28.2 (null) (SUSE) BugBuddy Version: 2.28.0
I'm experiencing the same problem on Fedora 13 with evolution evolution-2.30.2-4.fc13.i686. The result is the same whichever browser is set up as the default URL handler. Apparently evolution is inappropriately decoding the URL, (eg replacing "http%3A%2F%2F" with "http://") before handing it off the the browser. The URL needs to be passed to the browser intact in its original form.
This is my problem too. I filed bug 625525 and it was dup'd as 581032.
